How to propagate Philodendron Hope Selloum

- Pot each division into fresh well-draining mix at the same depth.
- Water in and keep warm in bright, indirect light while it settles.
Stem cuttings (aerial roots)
- Choose a section of stem that already has an aerial root and a node.
- Cut just below the node with clean shears.
- Root in water or moist sphagnum until roots are 2-3 inches long.

Common Philodendron Hope Selloum problems & fixes
Yellow leaves
Usually overwatering. Let the soil dry more between waterings and confirm the pot drains well.
Brown, crispy leaf tips
Low humidity or salt buildup. Raise humidity and flush the soil with plain water occasionally.
Leggy growth / small new leaves
Too little light. Move to brighter indirect light and prune to encourage fuller growth.
